Why is it that a citizen might be asked to defend his country and give his life to do so; but a business man can move his business to another country, avoid taxes and be considered just a good a citizen as the man/woman who fights and gives his life comEs home after fighting for the business man to have his rights and then the business man says SORRY! I moved my business to Korea.
Although mr/ms soldier i don't have a job for you; i do feel for you.
No real answer, just an observation i guess. Yes i understand Capitalism. Seems to me that some are more patriotic than others at times.

Sounds like a whine but it is the truth.

Last time I checked we don't ask anyone to defend our country. They all volunteer.

And nothing in your post has anything to do with Capitalism.

Because they are the "jerrb" creators, we must bow down to them and besides, their wealth will "trickle down" to us, eventually...right?

..Sigh
